Filings Made Easy™

Many registered agents exist in each state.  Many are competent.  Not all can grow with your business.  Choose a national registered agent service for your business, and as you expand your operations to additional states (whether it is a new office or a salesperson in an adjacent state or on the opposite coast), you can quickly and easily get established in additional states and have your registered agent services consolidated with a single provider.  This will eliminate annoying bills from multiple service providers and will help you keep track of your filing needs.

In addition to the exchange of ideas that normally occurs at a board meeting, which likely will benefit the business, it is necessary for good corporate governance to meet frequently and it could protect stockholders in the case they are ever sued for the debts or obligations of the corporation.  Corporations have a “corporate veil” which basically means that the debts and obligations of the corporation are not the responsibility of the stockholders if certain corporate formalities are honored.  These corporate formalities basically show that the corporation is being respected by those operating the business, and that the stockholders should thus be afforded the rights and benefits of the corporate entity existing.  The types of corporate formalities include holding frequent board meetings, holding an annual meeting of stockholders, maintaining minute books, keeping corporate bank accounts separate from those of the stockholders (i.e., not commingling corporate funds with those with others) and signing documents under the name of the corporation (and not by individuals).  While these actions seem very simple, they are critically important the stockholders of a corporation to ensure that the corporation and its corporate veil will be recognized, and that the stockholders’ personal assets will not become available to the creditors of the corporation to satisfy the corporation’s debts or obligations.

Failure to follow these and other basic corporate formalities could destroy the corporate veil and put the assets of the corporation’s stockholders at risk.

Why Form An LLC in Texas?

Every business owner has issues that come up every day.  Starting an LLC shouldn’t be a problem. The benefits are clear.  An LLC is the most flexible and easy to operate form of entity in the United States that provides a combination of the benefits of a corporation with the benefits of a general partnership, without the major detriments of using such entities. Read here for more general benefits of LLCs or read here for more information on the benefits of creating an LLC in Texas.

Starting an LLC will protect the owners from the liabilities of the business.

An LLC combines the most appealing benefit of a corporation (limited liability protections for its owners) and the most appealing benefit of a partnership (a single tax on profits, as opposed to the double taxation of a corporation).  Creditors will not be successful making a claim against you or other owners (called “members”), other than in extreme situations, and you will maximize your profits by not overpaying taxes.
